However, translating functionality into voice user interfaces can be extremely difficult. We've invited Cathy Pearl, an authority on VUI design, to give an overview of the field.

For developers, designers, and managers who have worked on conventional web user interfaces, voice UI can be a foreign discipline. Voice bots like Amazon’s Alexa have become compelling platforms for bot creators, but translating functionality into verbal exchanges can be extraordinarily difficult. We’ve invited Cathy Pearl, an authority on VUI design and the author of O’Reilly’s Designing Voice User Interfaces, to give an overview of VUI design. It’s a practice that will become an essential part of any bot creator’s toolkit, especially as APIs for Siri, Cortana, and Google Now become available.
